Oh, okay. Thank you. I couldn't see a connection between Reed Richards and Conan. I was wondering if you saw some sort of thematic connection between Red Sonja and Sue, and was puzzling over it.
That solution to her vow situation might work. I personally don't see anything wrong with her teachers and mentors being male, although it'd be better if one of them was motivated just by altruism (although Bob Howard seemed to believe everyone in life had a base motive.)
I like the idea of Sonja (and other characters who are usually smaller than their opponents) using speed, cunning and deftness. It was why Modesty Blaise was so convincing. She never slugged it out when she could win with misdirection and strategy. (Come to think of it, I haven't read any Modesty in the longest time...)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
